LAS VEGAS (January 8, 2018) – Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada has announced the sponsors for the 2018 Capital One/Junior Achievement Finance Park facility that will re-open for the 5th consecutive year from January 17 to March 23, to service approximately 4,500 Clark County students in grades 8-12. The facility will be located at the Las Vegas Library – 833 Las Vegas Blvd, N. Las Vegas, NV 89101.

“The sponsor contributions to Finance Park will provide Clark County Junior Achievement students with a unique, hands-on opportunity to learn about life’s financial realities,” said Caitlin Shea, Director of Development at Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada. “We are extremely grateful for the support of our generous sponsors for contributing to the educational growth of students in Southern Nevada.”

Finance Park will provide students with the hands-on opportunity to learn about the financial realities of life by visiting the small-scale mock city. Through interactive simulations, students will be assisted by their teachers and more than 400 trained volunteers, to use what they have learned in the classroom and apply those teachings to experience the challenges of making financial decisions while staying within a specified budget.
